ID Number: Q70886

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: DLM9103011

SYMPTOMS

The MS-DOS Append command will cause logon scripts not to run under

certain conditions. When this problem occurs, DOS LAN Manager will

return the following error message:

NET2212 - An error occurred while running the logon script.

CAUSE

If the Append environment contains a drive letter that does not

exist (typically, network drives), logon scripts will not run until

the network drive(s) are taken out of the Append environment.

RESOLUTION

Either of the following options can be used to resolve this

problem:

1. Do not use the MS-DOS Append command with logon scripts.

2. Create batch files to add/remove network drives to the Append

environment. Use these batch files to add network drives after

you log on, and delete them before you log off.
